Who talks more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However, linguist

Deborah Tannen, who has the studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a

stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations, where they

use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationship together But, she says, men talk more in public

situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we

can see these difference even in children Little girls often play with one ‘best friend’ and their play

includes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in groups, their play usually involves more

doing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, while boys are often better at

mathematics

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchers

studied conversation between children aged 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talk

very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use

more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more

descriptive language and more details There is also far more talk about emotions, especially with

daughters than with sons

answer to each of the questions from 35 to 41

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has

varied from one to forty-eight stars Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the

twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies

Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time

Vermont and Kentucky has joined the Union At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials

to add a star for each new state Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some

varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen starts

As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme

would not prove practical and the coins from A798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of

the original colonies Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the A828 half cent was issued with only

twelve stars There is also a variety of the large cent with only A2 stars, but this is the result of a die break

and is not a true error
